Fozz Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 this will be the blizzard of 96 of March events. I bet the DC metro area averages more for this storm than the 1993 superstorm. The 1993 superstorm will crush this event in the mountain areas though If this event beats the 14" my backyard got in jan 2011 (and probably march 93 as well based on KU maps), I'll be incredibly thrilled, especially if tssn is in the mix. But I don't expect more than 10" so we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I got un-nam'd. I have it on good authority that a small group of rogue snow haters in Rockville switched to DST a week early, and that's why you're seeing the snow hole...too much extra sunlight. Also, Tony Pann may have the greatest name ever when spoonerised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 So you're suggesting we should be freaking out, or that nobody believes the NAM with good reason? I would like to see the best VVs a bit closer.. they like the NW burbs. But honestly I don't expect to get superbanded the whole storm.. that happens to places like FDK. No one should use the NAM as sole guidance but in this range having it in your camp is certainly a plus. Ian's reply was good. Better to have it on your side. Shave precip by a 1/3, give it a 7:1 ratio, and we still are sitting at an 8-10" storm on the NAM in DC. That's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I think these snow maps have been historically terrible. Wouldn't worry about them Hey, you're not snowholed ok. You cannot imagine the desperation and despair I'm feeling right now. I'm rooting for fire balls to drop out of the sky instead of snow and burn the whole place down. everything. poof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 which is why I am probably going to get a room there tomorrow night and maybe tonight i have the dog but i might drop by later if you do. ill be there tomorrow of course assuming i don't have work. gotta guess they'll close at this pt.. tho the telecommuting change has me worried.

WxUSAF Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 The Columbia TSSN superband is going to suck all the moisture away from Rockville. 14" for me, 4" after rain for Rockville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 That's the same snowhole the clown maps have been painting over my part of Balt City for days now bob. No fear, the clown maps don't take into account my secret cold-maker that I will use to cool the atmosphere over the 21214. I can send some your way if it would help. 4 feet or bust!

Bob Chill Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I won't be satisfied with this storm unless i see snowflakes so big that medium sized snowflakes are orbiting around them and small snowflakes orbiting around the medium sized ones as they fall. unfortunately, that still wouldn't make Ji happy.
